Learning/Education Plan

I am aiming to earn my associates of science in computer science at Franklin University by graduation (Degree Details). From there, I plan to attend a four-year institution. My top two college choices are the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Iowa State University (ISU). My major would be software engineering, but I am willing to go for a bachelor's and/or a master's in computer science focusing on software engineering. I have had the same career idea since I was in second or third grade So you can say I am strong-willed and making it happen.

Jobs

The Design Scribe

Over the 2021 summer, I held a job at a small, local business called The Design Scribe. The business had been run out of the owner's home for seven years before getting a storefront in West Liberty. The business did web design sold office supplies, printing, and graphic design. My employment was from May of 2021 to August of the same year. I was let go due to finical issues, but I am glad to work there. During my time at the job, I improved my people skills, communication, and teamwork with project deadlines.

During the period of employment, however, I did get put on two web design commissions. The commissions were not massive, but I got to work with Divi Builder and WordPress to update information for business in the hospitality industry.

Plans During & After College

During college, I want to intern at Pixar as part of their central software engineering team. I have enjoyed their animated films and want to help out behind the scenes.

If there is a position open and I feel that my skills would benefit the team, I would apply for a full-time position. Otherwise, I would look at a position with companies like Google, Apple, Microsoft, or other companies I am familiar with and use their software.
